In that case it sounds more like seeking noises, which is nothing to worry about.

warped, stickers that unbalance it, scratches its a good way to kill a drive.

What if the disc is not warped at all, just has some little scratches on it and the optical drive has issues reading it. Can that still affect the drive?Billycar11 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2023 1:56 amripping used discs that are damaged is a no no.baneling wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2023 12:34 amIt's from the libraryMartyMcNuts wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 11:13 pm

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
I purchased a secondhand BU20N drive which was on fw BU24 and I flashed HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934
This was because I thought it was a BU40N, so now it is not loaded and isnt operating.
Is it possible to recover it when the manufacturer doesn't have a firmware on the website?

It's possible to recover if you can find bu20 fw and can use dos flash on your pc

Thanks that gives me hope it's worth trying.Billycar11 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 7:54 pmIt's possible to recover if you can find bu20 fw and can use dos flash on your pc
I found firmware CDROM.inf.amd64 for bu20n but win10 device manager rejected it.
Is dos flash the same as command prompt? Or is it 3rd party program?
Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023
Well, after several years of faithful service, I finally managed to kill my MSI UHD drive today. So, which drive is currently the easiest to obtain and easiest to flash for UHD compatibility?
